Being liberal means you take the time to honor choice, even if you don’t like the proffered options. It means considering the greatest good and putting your own self interest aside. Being liberal means being planful for the future and future generations. Being liberal means just being so that others may be as well.

Being conservative should be a liberals ally because, if true to the definition, we’d be conserving and enhancing life at the same time.
